Elaine still in pain but still functioning, she walked a little today but was obviously finding it difficult.

Yesterday we left Menzies heading for Gwalia but remembered Niagara Dam and stayed there for the night. We camped in the lower camp which is below the dam. It was a good spot and we enjoyed it even though it rained lots last night. This morning I walked around the dam then took another walk covering the other side of the area. It encompassed a couple of good lookouts, my favourite things, and extensive quartz fields. Quartz is where they find gold, I didn't find any of that but I did find some very pretty rocks. Quartz has some fantastic qualities when it has impurities that show nice colours based on what the impurities are.

When I got back we had breakfast then Elaine walked up to the dam wall with me, it looked great up there, so we shifted the van to the upper camp area. We now have a site with great water views over the dam on one side and forest on the other side. There are quite a few people up here and I went to a sun downer with some of them, Elaine stayed in the van nursing her back.
